Calendar of Activities
Planning plays an important role in achieving the set targets and goals in a very systematic
manner. It gives scope for continuous feed-back, proper monitoring and execution of the
assigned task. The cardinal principle of planning not only spaces the given tasks, which are to
be undertaken, but also provides clear cut design for implementation. National Service
Scheme, in the present context, has reached a stage where it is strongly felt that the planning
of NSS activities to achieve the assigned goals is very essential right from the grass-root
level. Further, proper planning in NSS has assumed greater importance in view of frequent
disturbances and curricular variations in the academic institutions.
